Pet's info: Cat | Domestic Shorthair | Female | unspayed | 1 year and 3 months old | 7 lbs
My cat has recently become very vocal, she will put her back end lower than the front and meow constantly, initially I thought she was in heat but this had been on and off for two weeks now. She prefers to be on the floor, which is unusual as usually she loved the bed. I'm worried something serious might be going on, but don't want to pay massive get fees to find out she's perfectly fine. Does it sound like she's in pain?

It could be possible that Panda is in heat causing these symptoms you are seeing displayed. In the spring time, cats cycle quickly, and they go out of heat for a time period as short as one to two weeks. It could be she is going in and out of heat. Of course because I can't see her in person, I can't say this for certain, and there is a possibility that she may have pain in her back or hips causing this behavior. To be safe, I do think a visit with the vet is best just to make sure everything is ok. In my opinion, it's better to pay the fee to see a find and find nothing wrong, than not visit the vet and have it be something serious. Best of luck!
